One of the key skills of an Information Security professional is to be able to detect such attacks, qualify them as to the degree of seriousness of the breach, and to be able to deal with the intrusion as efficiently and quickly as possible, while minimising the damage both to the business and its reputation. This module will give you a grounding in security concepts and terminology, illustrated by hands on practice in one of the most important aspects of information security today – network technology.
